Topic: Playback getting a little choppy (Read 7886 times)

Well taking the above onboard it would seem like the xorg setup under LinuxMCE is possibly incompatible with the performance of your hardware in someway. Under EasyVDR the xorg is configured in some way differently and works ok.

Well, is this your experience with other mainboards that xorg could be the problem ?So can I change something about the configuration to get things fixed or is it only fixed by new hardware ? Use another nvidia driver ? Or what can I try to change ?

On this board all important things are using the same interrupt with the 0710 kernel

The graphics card, The Network Card and USB.

I first disabled USB completely in the BIOS and it helped fixing the problem, but nothing works without USB, so I tried only disabling EHCI (USB 2.0) that worked partly - after the boot it was OK, but quite fast it did start stuttering again

So the solution I came up with is updating the kernel to 2.6.28.7 (the same EasyVDR is using) and it looks good. IRQ's are used different (see below) and replay is really smooth

We have tested the GA-MA78GM-S2H under LinuxMCE-0710 and now are testing it under LinuxMCE-0810 Alpha's. As usual the ATI3200 poses a few challenges but these are expected.

We certainly do not see any of the issues you are experiencing under 0710 or 0810. As far as I know we have not made any changes in bios relating to Interrupts..I will check with one of our guys next week to be sure though.
